Abstract

Satellite-communication effectiveness evaluation is one of the key issues in the field of satellite communication links for satellite operation, maintenance, and emergency communication. However, conventional model-based calculation methods require accurate meteorological parameters, thus not applicable to practical engineering problems. In this paper, a hybrid method, combing direct calculation and equilibrium approximation, is proposed to evaluate the effectiveness of a satellite communication system, with distributed multi-node receiver stations on the earth. Especially, the proposed equilibrium approximation approach is resilient to meteorological factors. Field tests corroborate the feasibility of this new method for real-world problems.
